Further information
In this workshop, you will be shown two different hand-building techniques; pinching, and slab building. These techniques are the fundamentals of hand-built pottery and can be used alone or combined to make all kinds of shapes, forms and objects.
In the second part of the course, you will get to glaze your pieces using the studio glazes. After this, your pottery will be fired and ready to collect in about 3 weeks. We will notify you via email when the pieces are ready for collection.
Please note that we can only keep pieces 2 months after you have been notified.
NOTE: We understand that life gets in the way and that you may miss a class. However we cannot accommodate or allow you to make up a class later or swap classes. We cannot make exceptions. It is your responsibility to ensure you can make the classes.
Cancellation policy:

Classes Cancellation policies
Our classes are non-refundable. Booking a class is like buying a ticket for a concert or a movie. These are specific events bound to time and place and therefore not refundable.
You can rebook a class if you give us notice at least 7 days before the event. This means that you will be issued a voucher that you can use to book a future class.
If you let us know less than 7 days before the class starts, you will not be able to rebook the class. We are not able to make exceptions.
If we allowed for last minute cancellations we would have to significantly increase our prices to account for the risk, thus making our classes inaccessible to a lot of people. While we have waiting lists for our classes, it is very difficult to find replacements less than a week before the event (believe us, we've tried!).
Yes. You are welcome to transfer it to a friend if you can't make it. The policies above would still apply.
Our studio is for adults (for people of age 18 or above).
